 Taking a ride on this subject, I've used gtk-qt-engine for sometime, but gave
 up and uninstalled it. However, every gtk application I open looks awfully
 now. How do I get back the bluecurve theme to gtk applications in KDE?
 I noticed this happens only in the profiles which had used the gtk-qt-engine.
 gtk applications look fine when opened in new user accounts or in accounts
 which haven't been used while gtk-qt was installed.
 How do I fix this (obviously, without recreating the profiles for the 
affected
 users)?

 Thanks,

 Marcelo

Can you fix things by running 
gnome-control-center 
and resetting the theme?

I've created a new user and installed gtk-qt-engine again. Then I applied the 
KDE theme to gtk applications in Control Center, while monitoring the files 
which were modified/created in the user home during the process. The problem

I don't understand. I can not run baghira directly from gnome, so I'm really 
not sure what you're getting at here.

Workaround, run KControl -> Appearance & Themes -> GTK Styles and Fonts
Under "Gtk Styles", and select something under "User another style".

Thanks Rex

That works. But what I've decided to do for the time being is to reinstall the 
old gtk-qt-engine and "ignore" updates for the time being. I really like the 
baghira theme. Will we be seeing baghira packages for fc5? As I indicated 
before there is a patch available at

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1388366&group_id=97296&atid=617615

which will allow baghira to be compile on fc5.

Just compiled and installed the just released gtk-qt-engine 0.7 seems to work.

Dual Monitor Support?

Can FC5 with KDE support dual monitors gracefully?

Generally I've had very good luck with dual monitors in KDE.  I had some 
issues with mixing ATI and NVIDIA cards between monitors and having 
OpenGL apps crash.  No real surprise there, because the way OpenGL 
works on Linux is not very conducive to two sets of hardware drivers 
working simultaneously, as I understand it.  I don't think it had 
anything to do with KDE.

Getting dual monitors to work has little to do with KDE itself.  You 
just need to get Xorg to recognize and use both cards correctly.  The 
Fedora display setup (system-config-display) can do the basics (I tried 
it under FC4), but it won't work if you choose to use something more 
proprietary like NVIDIA's twinview (which I personally do). 

KDE will end up treating various dual monitor setups basically the same 
(so long as you're choosing to go with one large desktop rather than 
two separate X sessions).  The only feature I wish KDE would implement 
is to allow the shared desktop style to have different virtual desktops 
at the same time.  As it is now, the virtual desktops are just twice as 
wide.

My situation is a single monitor driven by a Radeon 7500. I've 
ordered a second 7500, and I'll report how it turns out. Odd about 
the desktops, but I suppose I can tolerate that.

Supposedly(*) yes.

FYI, gtk-qt-engine-0.7(0) builds have been pushed to Extras, and will appear
for other distro/releases in kde-redhat/testing real-soon.

I was replying to Marcelo Magno T. Sales' problem. I guess I should've snipped 
your references.
